Project 1: Products rating prediction for Amazon
Domain: E-commerce
Amazon, one of the leading US-based e-commerce companies, typically recommends products that fall in the same category to customers, based on the latter’s activity and reviews of similar products. Amazon wants to improve this recommendation engine by expanding it to predict ratings for the non-rated products and adding them to customer recommendations accordingly.Project 2: Improving customer experience for Comcast
Domain: Telecom
Description: Comcast, one of the leading US-based global telecommunication companies, wants to improve their customers’ experience by identifying problem areas that lower customer satisfaction, and act on these issues. The company is also seeking key recommendations that they can implement to deliver the best customer experience.
Project 3: Attrition Analysis for IBM
Domain: Workforce Analytics
Description: IBM, one of the leading US-based IT companies, wants you to identify the factors that influence employee attrition. Based on the parameters identified, the company also wants to build a logistics regression model that helps predict employee churn rate.Project 4: Predict accurate sales for 45 Walmart stores, considering the impact of promotional markdown events. Walmart is one of the leading US-based retail stores. Determine if macroeconomic factors like CPI, unemployment rate, etc., impact sales.
Domain: Retail
Description: Walmart runs many promotional markdown events during the year. The markdowns typically precede prominent holidays and events like the Super Bowl, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and of course, Christmas. The weeks where these holidays fall are weighted five times higher in valuation than ordinary weeks. The business, however, is facing a challenge due to unexpected demand, resulting in stocks running out at times, exacerbated by inaccurate demand estimation. Macroeconomic factors like CPI, Unemployment Index, etc. also play an important role in predicting demand, but the company hasn’t yet been able to leverage these factors. Part of this project requires creating a model to highlight the effects of the markdowns on holiday weeks.Project 5: Learn how the top healthcare industry leaders make use of Data Science to improve their business.
Domain: HealthCare
Description: Predictive analytics can be used in many different aspects of healthcare, such as mediating hospital readmissions. Regardless of the industry, predictors are most useful when they can be turned into action. In other words, historical and real-time data alone are worthless without the company making a move. More importantly, in order to judge the value and efficiency of forecasting a trend and ultimately altering behavior, both the predictor and the intervention must be incorporated back into the same workflow and system where the trend originally began.Project 6: Grasp how Insurance leaders like AIG, AXA, Berkshire Hathaway, etc., use Data Science by working on an insurance-based real-life project in this data science course in Reading.
Domain: Insurance
Description: According to the 2013 Insurance Predictive Modeling Survey, predictive analytics has increased greatly in the insurance industry, especially for the biggest companies.

Why get certified as a Data Scientist?
Data science comprises numerous abilities that professionals may already have earned via a job or educational experience, despite its new designation. That is a valid issue in most other academic and commercial fields. There are considerably more vital accreditations you could and should obtain before "hanging your shingle" or trying to reconfigure your set of skills or profession in fields like banking or technology. Data science is a large field with just a few certification programs. Many of these programs, however, are too expensive. If you want to work as a Data Scientist, it's the most excellent way to impress potential employers and demonstrate your knowledge.
Data scientists must also be familiar with and have experience in reproducibility, decision-making, and collaborating with stakeholders and executives. As a result, pursuing a second (or third) degree may not be ideal for professionals interested in breaking into data science. They must still express their experience, talents, and gained knowledge to prospective employers to be successful.
It would be best if you now had a good idea of what Data Science Certifications are and how they may help you advance in your profession. All you have to do now is check over all the different certificates and choose the one that would provide you with the most excellent benefits.
